Dear Wien2k users,
I am PhD student and I and now I am performing calculations by means of WIEN2k
code. The purpose of my calculations is to get the elastic constants for
Titanium HCP-phase. I am using the Package for calculating elastic tensors of
hexagonal made by Prof. Morteza Jamal.
I am running this case:
Ti_HCP_example
H LATTICE,NONEQUIV.ATOMS: 1 194 P63/mmc
MODE OF CALC=RELA unit=bohr
5.574694 5.574694 8.843922 90.000000 90.000000120.000000
ATOM -1: X=0.33333333 Y=0.66666667 Z=0.75000000
MULT= 2 ISPLIT= 4
-1: X=0.66666667 Y=0.33333333 Z=0.25000000
Ti1 NPT= 781 R0=0.00005000 RMT= 2.40000 Z: 22.0
LOCAL ROT MATRIX: 1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
using these inputs:
- Xc = PBE-GGA
- 9000 k-points
- R_Kmax = 11,
- L_max = 12,
and the default values for the rest options.
What means that I am running the same example that is in the tutorial. But my
results are:
C11 = 36.3691 GPa C12 = 25.4916 GPa
C13 = 19.2926 GPa
C33 = 46.0047 GPa C55 = GPa
which are different that the ones shown in the example.
I would be very grateful if somebody could suggest me how to rectify this
problem. Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.
Julio Gutierrez
